SUPPLY CHAIN VISIBILITY OVERVIEW
Supply chain visibility describes the ability to monitor all goods and products as they travel through a supply chain. While the goals of supply chain visibility are simple, many companies struggle to achieve end-to-end visibility. In fact, recent surveys have found less than 20% of companies have a complete, real-time view of their supply chain.
Supply chain visibility isn’t simply a technology project with a definitive beginning and ending date. End-to-end supply chain visibility requires a cultural shift to understand and support the needs of a vast array of supply chain constituents such as merchants, operators, producers, suppliers, carriers, warehouses & distribution centers, and resellers.
Achieving supply chain visibility is best described as a journey. As with any journey, a successful supply chain visibility journey requires forethought, planning, communication, teamwork, measurement, and course corrections.
NCS Partners is passionate about helping companies achieve end-to-end supply chain visibility. To foster greater understanding we have developed a comprehensive six article whitepaper series.

Supply Chain Visibility Maturity Assessment
NCS Partners has worked with countless supply chain organizations to define and deploy solutions to optimize performance. As we investigated multiple organizations' supply chain visibility journeys, we observed a common set of best practices that predicated success. We embodied our observations into our Supply Chain Visibility Maturity Assessment, which assists organizations in measuring their progress against our defined best practices.
If you are curious on how your organization stacks up against others and our defined best practices, please participate in our Supply Chain Visibility Maturity Assessment. The assessment is free and takes just a few minutes to complete.
You will receive a detailed report that assesses your current standing in supply chain visibility and provides recommendations on next/best steps in your journey.
